We had quite a few days of 100 degree air temps, ambient temps on the pavement parked were 115/117. The Z when pushed, then followed by gridlock (I have that combination on the drive home from work), would routinely hit 250 to 260. I know this is below "limp mode", and not sure the long term affects on the durability of the engine (not intended to start a hot debate), but dropping the oil temps 30 degrees with a cooler will allow the car to perform better. I notice when the temps get that hi it seems to be more sluggish.
